Total population pf 15 to 64 age group

The highest percentage of the 218 respondents is 20-21 years

old. This age belongs in the working group. This may indicate that
their ages are Indemand for jobs. Also dependency ratio for every
100 person there is 43.42 dependent people. This include children
ages 0-14 and 65 and above adults. This may indicate that some of
them may have jobs and may sustain or support their family needs.

Also at the 14-31 years of age belongs to Erik Ericksons stage

of intimacy vs isolation. According to Erik. Erikson the young adult
stage is emphasized around the ages of 19 to 34. Young adults are
still eager to blend their identities with friends, and prepared for
intimacy or close personal relationship, and isolation, the fact of
being alone and separated from others.

In that age the intimate relationship takes place. Also in this

age, they observed and experiment some things in order for them
to understand. And this may indicate the higher risk of Sexually
Transmitted Disease, higher risk of alcohol and drug abuse, and also
smoking.

Santos St. Barangay Calumpang, Marikina City are females and the
remaining 48.17% of the respondents are males.

Sex ratio = M/F x 100

In anthropology and demography, the human sex ratio is the

ratio of males to females in a population like most sexual species
the sex ratio in human is in our case the gender ratio is 92.92:100.

In tradition that all male member of the family will be the one
who will work to sustain the needs at their respected family, but
because of modernization female are having the same exposure to
work as males do. In result both males and females are sharing
responsibilities to sustain the needs of their respected families.

According to Gender Distribution table, the highest percentage

are females this means that the community has a high risk of
having an increased population in the near future in view of a large
proportion of female population that could be producing babies of

Analysis and Implication

The table shows that the different sizes of families we have come
across our home visits are: small family, which is 54%, followed by
medium family size which is 34% and lastly the large family size with only
12%.

Majority of the 50 families has 1-4 members. This may

indicate that in the quality of life of the family may increase.
Children can be tiring and consume more time and money. For those
with less money, a smaller family provides a better quality of life:
More time and more saving for the future needs. Also may indicate
the quality of parenting may increase. It simply is easier to ne a
netter parent with a smaller family. The parent will have more time
and money with which to give their child or children the best
possible education, meet basic needs and provide health care.

Also, this may indicate that having a smaller family may

increase the awareness towards the community versus having a
medium and large size family.

place for having jobs. The findings indicate that both the male and
female heads of the family are very much in a position to provide
support needed by family members with regard to their general
health well-being. If even the mother is working and making decision
in the family, this could mean that mother is indeed. Playing a
major role not just in providing material benefits and support to the
family but as well as in the health needs of the same family.

According to the table, The family structure of 50 families in
Ganeral F. Santos St, Barangay Calumpang, Marikina City. Comprises
of 52% extended family, and 48% nuclear family, total of 100%
Nuclear family or elementary family is a term to define a
family group consisting of a pair of adults and their children. An
extended family is a family that extends beyond the immediate
family, consisting of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all
living nearby or in the same household.
Extended families help prevent elderly people from becoming
poor. Another advantage is that the grandparents can look after
children. During the day, the grandparents water the grandparents
can look after the children. During the day, the grandparents watch
the children to make sure that they are ok. And they also talk to
the children when the parents are busy. This helps the children
learn their language. And since the children are well taken care or,
both the parents are free to work on the farm or earn money in
jobs.

This may also indicate of having no privacy. Because there are

so many members. Also may cause conflict and problems, meddling in
other family members problems. And also, elderly can consume more
money or having relative for heatlh and basic needs.

years old, which is the working ages has jobs, 58 individuals are
unemployed, and 7 are self-employed. Also the three predominant
occupation in General F. Santos St. Barangay Calumpang, Marikina
City are Bag making, Call Center Agent, and driver.

This means that there are more individuals who have jobs than
unemployed. This may indicate of having a money for supporting the
needs of their family. In tradition, the males or the head of the
family are the one searching for jobs. But because of some
circumstances and modernization, the females also searching for jobs.
According to the table of occupational status, total of 41 males are
having jobs and self-employed, and 31 females also have jobs and

self-employed. This may indicate of more money income to provide

the family for their basic needs and health needs.

Even though this may give money to the family to support

their needs and health needs. This may also cause work-family
conflict when there are incompatible demands between the work and
family roles of an individual that makes participation in both roles
more difficult. Accordingly, the conflict takes place at the work-life
interface. Conflict between work and family is important for
organizations and individuals because it is linked to negative
consequences. For example, conflict between work and family is
associated with increased occupational burnout, quitting intentions
and job stress, and decreased health and job performance.

In community, the individuals focused on their jobs and

supporting their family. The concern of individuals may lessen.
